Reinventing a brand and increasing web traffic by 300%

CLIENT

GOAL

SOLUTION

After listening to the client’s goals, Leap Tie determined a re-brand was key to helping their established business resonate with today’s families. To convey the wide range of services Flanner Buchanan provides, we reinvented their funeral and cemetery positioning. Our team developed a new name and tagline, created a contemporary logo and designed a wealth of supporting collateral, including pre-planning kits and resources for veterans.

To coincide with the new brand, our digital experts completely revamped the website. The new site was designed to be mobile-responsive and easy to navigate. We developed property-specific pages with photography and video content highlighting the unique value each Flanner Buchanan location provides.

RESULTS

Since the re-brand and launch of the new website, Flanner Buchanan has seen a 300% increase in online traffic. They have more leads than ever before—and more tools to educate families and are positioned to be the best option to properly memorialize their loved ones.

Leap Tie moves brands forward and forward is the only option to stay relevant.

CLIENT

Horan & McConaty

GOAL

Restructure campaigns to demonstrate lower costs and increase leads.

Leap Tie built new campaigns around clear goals and KPIs which included counting form leads and phone calls from paid search campaigns.

Case Study #PB1

Changing perceptions by advocating for an important cause

CLIENT

Pipkin-Braswell Funerals, Cremations, and Receptions

GOAL

Improve community perceptions and grow market share for a funeral home and crematory serving African-American families in Denver, Colorado.

SOLUTION

Leap Tie recommended Pipkin-Braswell align themselves with a cause that was close to their community’s heart: suicide prevention. Since 1993, the suicide rate of African-American children between the ages of 5 and 11 has doubled. Additionally, suicide had risen to the third leading cause of death for African-American males ages 10 to 24, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

We helped the Pipkin-Braswell team organize a town hall event to educate Denver families about these alarming statistics and spark ideas for change. To maximize impact, we targeted local influencers, including church leaders and school officials. The event was also promoted through traditional advertising and on Pipkin Braswell’s Facebook page.

RESULTS

Pipkin-Braswell’s standing in the community was elevated by this gathering. Maximum attendance with every single seat filled. Attendees felt empowered to make a difference and were grateful for the platform. A Superintendent of a Denver Church remarked: “We are so lucky to have Pipkin-Braswell in our community. They care for us when we depart—but they care even more for us to ensure we stay.” After the discussion, 100% of surveyed attendees said they were “very likely” to attend another Pipkin-Braswell event.
